Overall an interesting concept. I, like others, also found the navigation a bit confusing. It wasn't always clear where to go or what to do. I do think the dialogue could be refined a bit more. I also think it would be nice if the player could uncover the story a bit more as we go, rather than the characters telling us about what's going on, but I understand it's only a game jam game. A solid piece nonetheless :)

This game has a really creative concept and a story that feels both intriguing and memorable. The visual design is charming and gives it a unique personality, and some of the twists, like the blunt honesty of the “YES” answer, made me laugh. It’s a fun and surprising entry that clearly shows a lot of thought behind it.

That said, navigation can be a bit confusing at times, and I wasn’t always sure where I needed to go. A couple of situations also felt like bugs rather than intentional design for example, picking up the flower early led to a softlock that forced a restart. Adding a save system or clearer guidance would make the experience smoother and less frustrating.

Overall, though, it’s a solid and very original jam game with plenty of charm. And since we’re all sharing projects, I’d be glad if you also tried the game I submitted it takes a similarly unusual idea and applies it in a different way.

I love your concept. I have only a problem navigating the places, and I don't know where should place I should go. But I finished the game.

It was a  nice game btw

Thank you for your Feedback. Yeah, I noticed that but I had no time to add that ;(

I like the visual design, very cute. The story is intriguing but there are a lot of times where I couldn't tell if I got stuck in a bug or it was part of the story, like when you pick up the flower before talking to the mother the first time, the flower disappears and the mother cannot be talked to again (which softlocked me and required me to start over).

A save function would be good, but other than that I think the game is very solid!

Ty for your post. What did u mean with save function?  I would like to learn ^^

I think being able to save your progress would be nice for a story game like this one, it would also be helpful in case you (the player) needs to restart like myself. I lose progress every time I restart after getting stuck from a bug and I'd have to play the beginning part all over again. It is just a bit inconvenient, but it's all good!
